Environmental groups are attacking the administration for
what they call the latest in a series of efforts to eliminate environmental
protections.

Some lawmakers are calling on the President to rethink the
move, which they say further threatens public water supplies.

“The president is moving in the wrong direction,”
said U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee,
D-MI.

He is slamming the Trump administration over its decision to
roll back the protections.

“The president seems willing to stand on the side of
his corporate buddies and not on the side of people who rightfully deserve
protection,” he said.

Kildee’s district includes Flint, Michigan, a city where lead-contaminated drinking water poisoned thousands. He says the rule change strips pollution protections from streams and wetlands, which he claims will put millions more Americans’ drinking water at risk.
